The ESRI report highlights critical barriers faced by school leavers with additional needs, stressing the urgent requirement for improved transport options and a robust workforce plan for adult services. It identifies challenges in securing work experience and placements, particularly due to insurance issues, and emphasizes the value of tailored support. The report advocates for resources that help schools and employers facilitate placements, ensuring a smoother transition into further education or employment for these individuals, which can have transformative effects on their lives.
It said the positive impact of good support could be life changing.
Several schools identified barriers, however, to organising and supporting work experience and placements for their students, particularly in more recent years.
